Material contains petroleum asphalt. IARC has determined that there is inadequate evidence that asphalt alone is carcinogenic to humans. In solutions, solvent extracts can produce skin cancer in animals, following prolonged and repeated contact. IARC has concluded that there is sufficient evidence of the carcinogenicity of asphalt extracts. Therefore, cutbacks like this product may also be implicated as potentially carcinogenic.
